Can anyone see the irony of having this debate on an internet forum?

That's ridiculous! People have more money than sense.

I think you were, somebody bought it. Not me though, love the tune but I just can't do with the lyric: " ... we were so happy So ginger and snappy .." No wonder its called For Crying Out Loud!

The rarest record I own is my 1975 (?) West Ham cup squad "Bubbles" 45 on US demo - found it in San Francisco. 1 known copy. I used to have it in my sales box for a laugh but most people never noticed it. After noticing this I stopped taking a sales box out with me. God knows what people are looking at when they go through a record box.

One of these up on ebay [here] with a couple of days left.

There's a VG+ one on ebay [here] fpr $7.99

There's a pile of them on ebay [here] - the lowest price mint one (he says unplayed) is $4.49 Buy it Now

The Ruth Brown is a gorgeous tune, got one off ebay the other day. There are 3 on ebay [here] - one is Buy It Now for $5 and only lists the b side (Papa Daddy). Cheers Paul

It's a christmas offer ................ ............ buy one get three free

True

If you're still looking for this there is a mint demo (Lendo) just gone up on ebay [here] - you'll need to beat my snipe though

I've never heard of speedlimit records but I believe Paul's Records - Selling Rare Northern Soul are wonderful to deal with.

After reading this a couple of times, you know what? I think you've got it spot on. Top post.

Gil Scott-heron - The Bottle - This is guided at £10 - £20 and is on various labels (Turbo, arista). There's a groovy french pic sleeve copy on ebay [here] Soul Tambourine - Betty Lavette - don't know it and it isn't in JM's guide. Rough copy on ebay [here] for $40 (or maybe less) Just like the weather - Nolan Chance - this is on Constellation (£250 - £300) and Bunky (£1500) though it has been bootlegged Hope that helps.

I'm sure this has been discussed on here before and the word was that the record sold so well they needed to put out more copies. They had run out of the current multi-coloured labels so recycled some blank red/white ones (hence the mis-spelling of You're). Which makes the multi-coloured one the first press. edit: Though the red/white is rarer. Also I believe there are other later issues on the label which are red/white labels? I may have dreamt this though as I have the multi coloured copy (and thankfully only paid about £25 for it some years ago). Perhaps someone could do a search for the offending thread? (I can never find anything I'm afraid).

There's a copy of this on ebay [here] - it's not a clean copy but it is an $8.00 start with a soundfile . edit: There's actually a couple more: A M- one [here] - label is not the usual one though, not seen this before. and a VG+ one [here] - 0.99 start for this one!

That's the difference between price and value in a nutshell: you would normally sell it for 15, you sold it for 25, you think it is worth no more than 25, your could have sold it three times for 25 so could probably have sold it for 40.

I think you've missed the point. It's not about the choice of medium or keeping up to date or what is more convenient. It is about finding, owning and (if you are lucky) playing to others the original product. Your argument is the same as the one Bill Gates used to suggest that if you could digitise all art and then have the digital images on your wall to look at, people would then stop going to art galleries to see the originals. Please can someone close this thread now? cos it is boring. People who want original vinyl and travel to hear records on original vinyl will never agree with people that can't understand why its not OK to play bootlegs, CD's or mp3's at these events. People who play CDs etc at events are not wrong in any way they are just different events for different people. That's it. Apart from tracks that are CD only. ...... .... Bugger.

Something doesn't look quite right about the bidding but it is hard to tell as ebay hide the bidders ID's. Both were won by the same person (t***t with 18 feedbacks) who looks like he had large snipes placed. On the Trade Martin the under bidder was a***o (89 feedbacks) who seemed to push the bidding up in the last 15 minutes or so of the auction from $150. He pushed it past l***6 (20 fb) and then 10 bids later (in 10 minutes!) past o***o (109 fb) who had two bids of $250 and $300. Odd for a record that is £30 in the price guides. On the Hannibal the under bidder was our friend o***o (109 fb) who again had two bids of errrr $250 and $300 before t***t struck again with an overbearing snipe. Again, odd for a record that guides at £30. I might have a look at a few other of the sellers completed auctions to see if there is a pattern or I might just go out and have a few beers at York Soul Club and consider if I am just an old cynic or not. It is probably nothing other than a couple or more people in the same area of the world who are both after a couple of records that are getting some plays in that area. Who knows? edit: actually a***o appears on a few of his completed auctions

There IS a cheap one [here] - not buy it now though. Bet there will be a few on ebay in the next few days

Scans of the blue LANDO original and the recent Reissue: Haven't got a white LENDO or seen a blue LENDO or white LANDO (will only sell the re-issue - tenner if anyone wants it?) Cheers Paul

Always been under rated because it was a cheap record, now it is expensive its getting some respect. Mad. Anyway there's one on ebay [here] - VG but the sound file plays really well.

Mine is like that too, had it for a few years now. I wondered if it was because these were the copies given to radio stations just before it got its national release - an attempt to get the DJ to say the right label name.

I don't see the difference between this and knocking up cassette tapes for sale which used to go on quite happily without anyone complaining. I appreciate that they are ripping off licensed tracks but it is pretty obvious what they are from the price and the pictures.

To be honest, this is a £100 to £125 tune which is about double what you are offering. I think everyone would like a copy for $80! Best of luck tho
